FRENCH ART DECO JEAN MAYODON STUDIO STONEWARE BOWL>>>>> It is with great pleasure that I present an extremely RARE art piece by one of the most sought after Art Deco exponents - JEAN MAYODON. He was born in Sérves in 1893 (-1967), he became the artistic director of the Sérves factory in 1941. He was the son of a painter and became a painter himself. Mayodon first became interested in pottery in 1912. After the First World War he exhibited some of his wares at the Galliéra Museum - based on the success of this exhibition he devoted the rest of his life to ceramics. Most notably he participated in the Art Deco Paris Exhibition in 1925. Together with other luminaries such as Rene Lalique and Jean Puiforcat his work featured aboard the Normandy.

The shape of the bowl itself is exceptional with the beautifully substantial rolled lip forming read more
